Infant and Toddler Care

The YMCA Children's Academy provides enriching experiences that help to facilitate an infant’s cognitive, social, physical and emotional growth. We strive to meet the developmental needs of each individual child by working in partnership with their families. Throughout the day, caring teachers meet their basic needs and encourage developmental language and gross motor skills through rhythm and song, books, conversations and physical activities.

Preschool

In the YMCA Preschool Program, we strive to ensure that all children are ready for school academically and socially confident. Preschool children learn to master self-help skills and to be good friends. During the preschool years, children begin to learn letter and name recognition, number recognition, one-to-one correspondence, critical thinking and problem solving skills. Before the blink of an eye our preschool children are ready to conquer the world in Kindergarten.

The goal of early childhood development programs is for children to be well prepared to enter school. Our programs are licensed by the Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services, Child Care Licensing. Contact a YMCA Children's Academy location closest to you for more information.
